Long story short: I am a farmer. Not a Korean farmer (those guys on mmos that kill monsters and sell the gold over e-bay). A real farmer. I grow plants and I have a steady job in an open air market. So, much of my time is being consumed by that. I need to move from the big city (Athens) to the country (Thiva) to check on my plants, talk to people, do hard work etc. etc.
The past one and a half month, I was in Thiva, participating on a seminar about new farmers, but I managed to paint some Eldar. But now I'm back in Athens, where all my stuff and armies are (except for the Tyranids, those bugs are scattered everywhere). So I started checking on old boxes with bitz and old metal miniatures, and stripped and primed minies that needed to be repainted, and found these:
From left to right, we can see a fantasy Khorne Lord on Juggernaught (who has been "converted" to fit into a Warhammer 40K list - actually just a plasma gun on the shield arm and a round base), a metal Typhus given to me as a present about 4 years ago, a metal Lucius the Eternal (he was a gift along with Typhus) and my very first chaos miniature, Abaddon the Despoiler. Now, this miniature has seen a lot of action: painted, stripped, painted again, sealed with the disgusting Citadel "purity seal", then stripped and primed again, to stay in this state for about 5 years, more or less. Anyway, I've tried to give this guy a dynamic pose, something to make him look more like Abaddon from the Chaos Space Marines codex of 1998. And today, after a lot of thinking, I've made it. It's really nothing special, I haven't even cut or pinned much on him (well I didn't cut anything, I just pinned his arms) and set him on a more or less dynamic pose. I also "repositioned his lightning claw, and turned his head in a way that shows something like "advance" or "charge".
A long time ago, I purchased a pack of Warhammer Fantasy Chaos Knights. My idea was to make a "bike" squadron for my ever growing Black Legion army. Those miniatures (that by the way are awesome) where sitting in a dark cupboard (obviously waiting for the Apocalypse, since they are going to represent the four horsemen). So, with no further ado, a sneak peak of what there is to come:
So, I'm sorry for being so late (for anyone out there who reads the blog), and once more, thank you. See you soon.
Cheers.

Anyway, I liked the way he turned out, like, out of nowhere.
